RYNO Single Wheel Scooter

RYNO Motors‘ single-wheeled electric scooter looks like it stepped right out of some comic book fantasy world.

It’s self-balancing, and has a turning radius of zero when stopped, and only takes up about as much space as a folding bicycle — so it’s conceivable that commuters could bring one onto a train.

However, the RYNO’s maximum range is only 20 miles between charges, and although its top speed is 25mph, its limited to 12.5 mph to keep the RYNO scooter within the more relaxed legal boundaries of “personal mobility scooters”.

With an expected release date of January 2013 and an MSRP of $4,500, the RYNO scooter could be a compelling last-mile option for urban commuters, or live-work environments like here in Celebration FL. That is, if consumers think the RYNO is cooler than a Segway.

This futuristic Honda prototype is really sexy. The 2015 Honda CB 750 by Igor Chak features a four-cylinder liquid hydrogen engine, with a six-speed dual-clutch transmission with electronic lurch and traction control. All with electronic tuning controlled by the onboard computer!

That’s right, this superbike features a first-of-its-kind on board computer, which can be controlled through a 5” OLED multi-touch display positioned right on the fuel tank! Users can switch between 3 menus: GPS, Drive modes, diagnostics mode.

The frame and body is a constructed with a carbon fiber, aluminum, and titanium unibody. Seat cowling is part of the frame, allowing it to carry heavier riders- up to 300lbs.

Front and rear electro-magnetic suspension is also controlled electronically too. Sensors show readouts updating every 1/10 a second and can adjust everything on-the-fly. ABS, airbag, and steering damper. Rims designed to be sleek and aerodynamic. Radar technology to “sense an upcoming head-on collision and will automatically slow the bike.” – most of these features can be manually disabled to suit the driver.

GPS mode is like your standard GPS that will give you directions and etc, but it will be connected to the internet through Wi-Fi and 3G. This will enable you to find information on the go and implement it to your rout.

Drive mode: economy, race and standard. All can be electronically tuned.

Diagnostic mode: lap times, gas consumption, top speed and etc.

Honda, please make this bike! If you need assistance with the onboard screen control design and UI, I’d be happy to help.
